@lascapigliata8 @KatKitten1 One question, though: I recently saw a graphic showing how positively each country in Europe currently feels towards Russia, and Serbia was the outlier, with a really positive view. Given the nature of Putin and the war in Ukraine, what can account for that?

@soniasodha Or at least I was, until I spotted (as others had pointed out under the original post) that it’s the road numbering system.

@soniasodha I’m puzzled and a bit outraged that Edinburgh and East Lothian are somehow bundled in with East Anglia!

@dakroot I used to make my own marbled paper, which was very pretty but my writing was barely legible on it! Also, looking back, it was all a bit ‘writing frightening verse to a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg’ …

@ripx4nutmeg @MCleaver @BBCNews How do they know he’s not just mocking the southern tip of South America? If there were a drag queen called Eye Sland, would he be sued by a frozen-food retailer? 🤔

@OrkneyLibrary Don’t you hold a copy of the early novel ‘Like’ by Ali Smith?

@SeeRedWoman1 @randomgirl_411 I can’t recall a Rob – two other names come to mind on the Teletext side – but drop me a message if you want to compare notes and reminisce! I also lived not too far from Bounds Green tube …

@SeeRedWoman1 @randomgirl_411 I worked in IT at the Press Association. We used to do all your sports and elections pages, and used to get jittery when it was ‘Farm Lane’ on the phone 🤣 That was all a very long time ago now …

@JoonesNorma @marycatedelvey They’re the exact same species. English is unusual in making a distinction between doves (pure and positive) and pigeons (dirty and negative).

@DownWithTheSNP It sounds like very badly pronounced Polish to me. It is most definitely not her native language.

[Howard Pidge @HowardPidge]

@SeeRedWoman1 @joshxhowie Cats’ penises are microscopic. I’m always amazed that cats manage to reproduce at all!

[Howard Pidge @HowardPidge]

@ReplacetheM8 Amazing! It won’t replace all the beautiful Victorian buildings that were demolished, though.

[Howard Pidge @HowardPidge]

@SemperFemina21 Controversial opinion: it’s better and has much more character than Manchester.

[Howard Pidge @HowardPidge]

@SeeRedWoman1 Happy birthday, from a grumpy old goth geezer across the water 😊

[Howard Pidge @HowardPidge]

@heatherthefair There is another Heather on here, with another Ronnie but of a very different species!

[Howard Pidge @HowardPidge]

@hermionegingol1 I thought he says he’s an entirely new type of human who is neither male nor female but, to be honest, it’s hard to keep up with the batshittery of the Scottish Greens.

[Howard Pidge @HowardPidge]

@GussieGrips You’re lucky you’re not in my constituency, then, because I doubt whether my MSP would be very sympathetic.

[Howard Pidge @HowardPidge]

@lascapigliata8 Wow, great photo, and I never had a mental image of ‘La Scap’ before! I dare not show my face on here, but you wouldn’t want to see it anyway 🤣

[Howard Pidge @HowardPidge]

@CleverclogsNina @JingsWings They’ve gerrymandered the constituency and now I also find myself in Edinburgh Central. I wonder what will happen with the legal action about the failed recycling scheme, though. Every shopping centre car park has an empty, redundant Lorna Slater Memorial Hall!

@a_london_pigeon … and also whether I’m going to get killed while eating it.

I always think it’s an extremely hard life for pretty much all wild animals, but especially those who are the prey rather than the predator.
